As per Cricket South Africa, Anrich Nortje has suffered a “stress reaction”, due to which he was not considered to be a part of South Africa’s 15-member squad for the Zimbabwe T20 Tri-Series 2025 to be played in Zimbabwe. It was the same injury that prevented him from representing the Los Angeles Knight Riders in the 2025 edition of Major League Cricket.
South African head coach, Shukri Conrad, voiced empathy towards Nortje’s condition and hoped for him to have a speedy recovery from his latest injury blow.
Nortje, who is no longer centrally contracted with CSA, has had an unfortunate history of spending vast periods of time on the sidelines. He failed to play any form of cricket between November 2013 and November 2015, November 2018 and February 2019, and then between November 2021 and April 2022. This was mainly due to a range of back and hip injuries.
As of June 26, South Africa have played a total of seven matches (two Tests and five ODIs). Nortje did not represent the nation even once. His only couple of games this year have been for the Kolkata Knight Riders in the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League.
